Here is my new project, 1980 mazda 626. In great working condition. and a full list of maintenance, Its either a 22,000 mile car or a 122,000. Either way its in great condition everything working, minimal surface rust. Still original paint, and like a new car! Looking to learn more about the 626!

So far i have been replacing and updating the cooling system.. so i can enjoy the car in this summer heat! progression to come!

looking for some advise on suspension, right now Its on the stock FB suspension, and its time for a upgrade. Im wanting to upgrade the shocks/springs but i dont want to go lower, and i wouldnt be against going up a little bit. Any cb 626 owners have some suspension guidance with these cars?

What series RX7 did you take the brakes and suspension from? How hard was the conversion? I am restoring my 81 626 hardtop and am rebuilding my engine at the moment, next on my list is suspension and could really do with a few more ideas as I cant get anything for it (shocks and struts) in Australia other than OEM.Yours is looking really awesome.

I reckon he used S2 Rx7 struts - direct bolt in and same stud pattern as 626.His car looks as low as mine when I fitted my S2 struts. The tyres rubbed the guardsand the mudflaps scraped on the ground - they came back out the same afternoon!!!!!TOOOOOO DARN LOW!!!!!!

Mine now with lowered Kings Springs and new 205/40 x 17 rims and tyres:
